Java Pork
The beauty of this recipe is not only its simplicity, but its
unusual sauce, and the fact that you can use any cut of
pork you like -
METHOD.
Coat the pork (cubes, chops, slices - whatever) with
seasoned flour and shallow fry in a mixture of oil and
butter (or margerine) till coloured. Remove from the
pan, add more oil if necessary, and fry 1 large chopped
onion + 2 sticks chopped celery over medium heat.
Lower the heat and add 1 heaped tspn curry powder
and a sprinkling of flour. Stir in 3/4 pint hot stock (a
dissolved chicken stock cube is fine). Replace the pork
and cover the pan. Simmer slowly for 3/4 hour. Stir in
the juice of 1 lemon + 1 cup of cream, and turn off the
heat. Correct seasoning to taste.*
Serve with a jacket potato or a selection of vegetables.
* This is where you can personalise the recipe if you
wish.
(a) It will not taste like a curry at this point. But you can
add more curry powder and serve it with rice if you wish.
(b) To make a more fruity sauce, add some orange
segments or pieces of mango before serving.
(c) Add chopped apple to the onion and celery - and
maybe some chopped sage.
